For the Easter gift
Referring to the Easter gift, Mrs. Michailidou emphasized that she noted that “the Easter gift is 415 euros and is calculated on top of the entire new minimum wage of 830 euros. Those employers who do not give the Easter gift of 415 euros are illegal. And we can now see this automatically through ERGANI, where we see and control all payrolls.”
Regarding the maternity allowance, he pointed out that “we have extended the maternity allowance to self-employed women, farmers and self-employed women. They now receive a maternity allowance of 830 euros for 9 months, just like the tenants. This is a very important intervention that is equivalent to additional financial support of 6,000 euros per year. These women received 250 euros for four months and now they will receive 830 euros for nine months. Mothers who are entitled to the allowance can already apply in writing at the DYPA centers and I hope that next week we will be able to activate the required platform to submit their applications”.
“When the Council of State and the Supreme Court disagree, as in this case, then the Supreme Special Court is competent to decide. What we are doing is to wait for the decision of the Supreme Special Court and as always respect it. Then we will see how many we pay and we will do it as quickly as possible”, said Mrs. Michailidou on the occasion of the retroactive gifts and the return of the cuts to the supplementary pensions.
For raising the minimum wage, inflation and industry contracts
“We understand that the increase of 50 euros is not enough to cover the needs of a family, let alone those of vulnerable households. We cannot say that we are happy and that there is no problem. But we have to look at where we are. And we are in a situation where the growth in our per capita income is twice the growth in Europe as a whole. In addition, from 2019 until today, the increase in inflation relative to the increase in both the minimum and the average wage is quite lower. That is, the increase in prices has not “eaten” the increase in wages.
Regarding the increase in the minimum wage, the employers wanted much lower than the one we gave. The employers wanted an increase of 3% to 4%. We proceeded with a 6.4% increase in the minimum wage, taking into account how much the employer, as well as the economy, can withstand. In other words, we maintained a balance so that on the one hand we strengthen the household and on the other hand the household stays in its workplace, and all this without creating inflationary pressures and inflationary expectations.
